Softball: Cougars can't catch breaks in tough season _____________________________ Continued from page 6 wc played five innings." Clackamas was faced with a loser-out game earlier in the day against Centralia. In a rollercoaster ride that saw three lead changes, Clackamas won a thrilling game 13-7. Comstock started on the mound and was successful holding the Trailblazers to only one run through four innings. . Meanwhile, Clackamas jumped all over Centralia early. Williams led off the game with a triple. Smith then hit a deep fly ball for a sacrifice fly that scored the freshman catcher. Centralia then scored one run in the top of the fourth to tic the contest. In the Cougars' half of the inning, Clackamas unleashed for five runs while Williams hit her second triple of the day. Centralia then rebounded with two runs in the fifth to make the score 6-3. After failing to score in the bottom of the fifth, Clackamas saw Centralia take the lead 7-6 on two triples, a double and a number of Gelding errors made by the Cougars. Coach Nasuta relieved Comstock in the inning with Smythe. In the bottom of the inning, Clackamas exploded for seven runs on a string of extra base hits. Sophomore shortstop Lisa Hosford started things off with a double that scored two runs. Smith followed with an RBI triple. Cecily Burton then hit an RBI double to score Smith and then sophomore third baseman Dani Soldani hit a an RBI triple. "That was pretty amazing to see," noted Nasuta. "A double, triple, double, triple has got to be pretty rare." The victory eliminated Centralia from the playoffs and sent the Cougars' against the Saints in the afternoon game. "This was a great game to coach and a great game for the fans," noted Technology next fall. Two of Soldani's teammates last year, Robin Viol and Joell Whitton play for the south ern Oregon school. "As far as the returning freshmen," noted Nasuta. "A number of the players are undecided on whether they will return. Some have shown interest in playing at an other school while others are getting burned out and are thinking about not playing at all." Despite the Cougars' full lineup of talented players, Clackamas never seemed to play at top form for a con sistent period of time. "We talked about it all year," said Nausta. "We just couldn't catch any breaks all year.. I talked with Paul [Fiskum, Clackamas head coach on a one-year sabbatical] and he said the same thing.
